\title{Estimate Soil Temperature Regime}
\usage{
estimateSTR(
  mast,
  mean.summer,
  mean.winter,
  O.hz = NA,
  saturated = NA,
  permafrost = FALSE
)
}
\arguments{
\item{mast}{vector of mean annual soil temperature (deg C)}

\item{mean.summer}{vector of mean summer soil temperature (deg C)}

\item{mean.winter}{vector of mean winter soil temperature (deg C)}

\item{O.hz}{logical vector of O horizon presence / absence}

\item{saturated}{logical vector of seasonal saturation}

\item{permafrost}{logical vector of permafrost presence / absence}
}
\value{
Vector of soil temperature regimes.
}
\description{
Estimate soil temperature regime (STR) based on mean annual soil temperature
(MAST), mean summer temperature (MSST), mean winter soil temperature (MWST),
presence of O horizons, saturated conditions, and presence of permafrost.
Several assumptions are made when O horizon or saturation are undefined.
